EMC CLARiiON Server Support Products for Windows Installation Guide

Silent Installations and Removals

The Navisphere Host Agent Setup.exe file and all supporting
files are unpacked to the specified folder.

8. Click Cancel when the InstallShield wizard opens and click Yes to

exit the setup.

9. Open a command line window, such as a DOS window.

10. Navigate to the directory where you unpacked the Host Agent

files (the Host Agent Setup.exe file and all supporting files). You
will run the Setup.exe file in the next section.

Creating a response file

1. Create a response file for the Host Agent by issuing the command

below. The response file will store the setup configuration so that
you can install the Host Agent on all attached Windows servers
using one command. Since no input is required, this is referred to
as a silent installation.

The command will launch an InstallShield Wizard. Pathnames or
filenames containing spaces must be in double quotation marks, for
example, "C:\my dir\my file.cfg".

Setup.exe -r -f1

fullpath\responsefilename -userid userid -server

servername |-cfgfile "fullpath and configuration file filename"
-override

where

-r

Indicates that a response file will be created.

-f1

fullpath\responsefilename

Specifies the full pathname and filename of the target
response file (in this case the Host Agent).

-userid

userid

Specifies a privileged user’s login name. The Navisphere
Agent configuration file will set the privileged user as
specified but leave other options with default values (see the
end of this section).

You must use this switch with the -server switch. You cannot
use this switch with the -cfgfile switch.
